Chapter 109 If you want to win the hearts of the troops, you must first establish your authority!
"Grandma Qiushui is such a good elder. She even gave us such a luxurious mansion. I really don't know how to thank her."
Looking at the huge mansion that looked like a garden, Murong Fu's favor towards Li Qiu Shui increased sharply.
Although Li Qiu Shui is a little fairy, she is really independent.
Not only did it not drop any gold coins for Murong Fu, but it actually gave Murong Fu a large amount of gold coins.
Not only did he send money, soldiers, and palace maids, but he also sent Murong Fu a mansion.
Who can not love a grandma like this?
"We already have mansions in Dali and Xixia, but I still prefer Mantuo Villa," said Wang Yuyan.
"I like Mantuo Villa, too, but I don't dare to see your mother."
"why?"
"Because I forgot to bring her Duan Lang to her, she will definitely be very angry. Thinking of her angry look, I am scared!"
Murong Fu was serious about what he said.
When Li Qingluo was angry, her whole body trembled and the white rabbits on her chest were about to pop out. How could Murong Fu not be afraid?
Murong Fu thought to himself whether he should let Ah Zhu disguise herself as Duan Zhengchun and coax his aunt with sweet words to prevent her from getting angry.
If my aunt makes that kind of request, let Ah Zhu say that the supreme martial arts of the Dali Duan family, the Six Meridians Divine Sword, is "If you want to practice this skill, you must also castrate yourself."
I, Duan Zhengchun, am like a neutered male cat. Although you, a little female cat, meow, I am willing but unable to help you.
Then, Aunt Li Qingluo will definitely be very desperate.
But it is also very likely that she would completely stop thinking about Duan Zhengchun.
……
Now that he had a mansion in Xixia, Murong Fu brought all the people from the inn into the mansion and arranged for them to live in.
Not long after, the palace maid named Xiaoyun informed Murong Fu that the emperor would meet him in three days when he had time.
Murong Fu couldn't help but complain that Li Qianshun was of low generation but very arrogant. Duan Zhengming was also the emperor, but he didn't even let him wait.
This Li Qianshun actually dared to leave me alone for three days. It seems that the title of Duke Anle will be given to Duan Zhengming in the future. This Li Qianshun is not even worthy of being the Marquis of Disobeying Orders, but can only be the Marquis of Chonghun.
Suddenly, Sikong Xuan came to report that a young man named Tuoba Fei, with three hundred Iron Harriers, wanted to see Murong Fu.
"My troops are here, I will go and subdue them right away!" Murong Fu was overjoyed.
It is still the era of cold weapons, and the gap between professional soldiers and peasant soldiers is huge, not to mention that the Iron Harriers are the ceiling among professional soldiers.
With the addition of these three hundred Iron Harriers, Murong Fu's cause of restoring the country can be said to be even more powerful.
Murong Fu was naturally very concerned about subduing these three hundred Iron Harriers.
Although they had been given to Murong Fu by Li Qiushui, Murong Fu knew very well that human minds were unpredictable and it was impossible for these elite Dangxiang tribesmen to be loyal to him just by a word from Li Qiushui.
To subdue these people, Murong Fu has to use some means himself.
……
yard.
The clatter of iron hooves was heard as the three hundred fully-armed Iron Harriers marched forward with great momentum. Both the men and horses were wearing heavy armor and wearing iron masks that looked as ferocious as the angry King Kong. They were in uniform formation and full of murderous intent.
These are none other than Western Xia’s most elite heavy cavalry, the Iron Harriers!
The momentum of the three hundred Iron Harriers already surpassed Gao Shengtai's Ruijian Battalion of three thousand men.
Leading the group was a young man in black armor. He took off his mask, revealing a handsome and resolute face.
The young man took the lead in dismounting, and the other Iron Harriers took off their masks and followed suit.
The young man knelt down and said to Murong Fu: "Tuoba Fei, in the name of the Queen Mother, led 300 Iron Harriers of the Death Battalion to submit to Master Murong! I hope Master Murong will take us in!"
"We are submitting to Master Murong, and we hope that Master Murong will take us in!"
Although Tuoba Fei and the Iron Harriers were kneeling on the ground, begging Murong Fu to take them in, Murong Fu could see the rebellious nature in them.
They were forced to submit to Murong Fu under the orders of Li Qiu Shui, but they were not convinced at all.
Not to mention Tuoba Fei, even these soldiers were dissatisfied.
Murong Fu could understand this.
Murong Fu has some reputation in the martial arts world, but it has no effect on the army.
Moreover, he was not a famous Dangxiang general, and he did not hold any official position in Western Xia, and had no prestige or qualifications.
In the eyes of these soldiers, following Murong Fu basically means ruining their future, and there is no way they can be happy.
Murong Fu looked at Tuoba Fei and felt that this young man had sharp eyes, was vigorous and fierce, had a faint scar on his face, and gave people a feeling of being as powerful as a tiger.
Good, he is a promising general!
What made Murong Fu appreciate it even more was that Tuoba Fei was very popular among the soldiers. The eyes of the Iron Harriers were full of respect when they looked at Tuoba Fei.
Even though Tuoba Fei had offended such a powerful person as the King of Jin, he was still able to gain the respect of the soldiers, which showed that he must have real ability.
While Murong Fu was looking at Tuoba Fei, Tuoba Fei was also looking at Murong Fu. Li Qiushui asked Tuoba Fei to worship Murong Fu as his adoptive father. Tuoba Fei was very resistant, but he did not dare to refuse and could only pretend to obey.
He inquired privately and heard that Murong Fu was only ten years older than him, which made him even more resistant.
Now that he saw Murong Fu, although he felt that Murong Fu had an impressive bearing, he was younger than he had imagined, so he was even more reluctant to acknowledge Murong Fu as his adoptive father.
Murong Fu was not in a hurry. He glanced at the many Iron Harriers and said, "I heard that the Iron Harriers are a strong army in Western Xia. Is that true?"
Tuoba Fei said proudly: "The Iron Harriers are not only the strongest army in Daxia, but also the strongest army in the world!"
Murong Fu said: "Really?"
Tuoba Fei shouted: "I once led 300 brothers to defeat 5,000 Western Song soldiers!"
"Really?" Murong Fu said with a smile, "Very good, let me see what you are capable of. I, Murong Fu, will not accept good-for-nothings!"
Murong Fu's words made the Iron Hawks furious.
"This is too much. We are not good-for-nothings!"
"Master Murong, please take back your words. Otherwise, even if it is the order of the Concubine Dowager, we will not obey it!"
"unacceptable!"
The Iron Hawks were all extremely angry, and many of them even stood up.
Tuoba Fei also stood up, glared at Murong Fu, and said: "Master Murong, you shouldn't look down on us like this!"
Murong Fu said calmly: "I didn't say you were good-for-nothings, I just said that I don't need good-for-nothings. Rumors are just rumors, I want to see your true strength!"
"Well, I am also a martial artist, so I will personally test your strength to see if you are good-for-nothings or not!"
Upon hearing this, the Iron Hawks were all eager to compete with Murong Fu. Murong Fu's method of provoking them was surprisingly effective.
After all, these are a group of young people full of vigor and vitality.
"You don't have to come one by one, come together! After all, you have a good understanding, and if you come together in formation, you should be a threat to me!" Murong Fu said, "I will fight three hundred of you!"
"Insanity!"
"It's crazy!"
"Even if he is a martial arts master, how can he be a match for three hundred of us?"
Only Tuoba Fei had vaguely heard of Nan Murong's reputation, but he did not believe that a martial arts master could defeat three hundred Iron Harriers.
After all, he had practiced martial arts and his skills were not low. Ordinary masters of Yipintang were no match for him even in a life-and-death fight.
"Mr. Murong, are you serious?" Tuoba Fei asked coldly.
"I'm serious!" Murong Fu said, "Go ahead, I allow you to form a formation, and you can even ride horses!"
Tuoba Fei suppressed his anger at being looked down upon and gritted his teeth, saying, "No need to ride horses. With three hundred of us fighting on foot, we can easily defeat Master Murong! Master Murong, be careful!"
After saying that, Tuoba Fei blew a strange whistle, like the call of a partridge.
With a loud clatter, the three hundred Iron Kites dispersed and reorganized, and in just a few breaths, they formed a tacit military formation.
The army surrounded Murong Fu from all sides, trapping him in the middle.
"Kill!" Tuoba Fei shouted.
On all four sides of the army, dozens of men drew their bows and arrows, dozens took out their swords and shields, and the rest all drew their spears. They cooperated in perfect harmony and approached Murong Fu, carrying out long-range and melee attacks simultaneously.
The military formation was so tight that there was almost no room for Murong Fu to dodge.
They also have experience in dealing with martial arts masters. Martial arts masters usually do not wear armor, and their exquisite moves require dodging and moving quickly. However, as long as they compress the master's space so that he cannot do this and move quickly, and constantly consume the master's internal energy, the master will be killed quickly.
Tuoba Fei kept a close eye on Murong Fu. After all, Murong Fu was someone the Concubine Dowager valued. Once Murong Fu was unable to hold on, he would personally save him. This would not only strike a blow to Murong Fu's arrogance, but also not offend the Concubine Dowager.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The first to attack were dozens of arrows, which shot towards Murong Fu at the same time at a very close distance. The power was so great that it was like raindrops from the sky.
Murong Fu moved!
He just made a stroke with his hand and used the power of the stars to move!
Dozens of arrows bounced back and shot towards the Iron Kites.
Ding, ding, ding!
Although the arrows did not penetrate the armor, they still knocked the Iron Harriers to the ground with great force.
At the same time, Murong Fu flashed in front of the shield and sword soldiers and launched a "Yang Ge Tian Jun" of the Tianshan Six Yang Palm at their shield formation.
boom!
The surging palm power directly lifted up the entire phalanx of sword and shield soldiers, and dozens of Iron Harriers were knocked to the ground by Murong Fu.
"what?!"
Tuoba Fei was greatly surprised. He had never expected Murong Fu to be so brave. He immediately went into battle himself to stop Murong Fu.
